Carlos Yañez Peralta, corredor público in Cancun

The firm

Yañez Peralta, S.C. is a preventive-law firm based in Cancún, Quintana Roo. The idea that organizes everything we do fits in one sentence: law is practiced before the conflict, not after it.

That turns into something concrete. We design and review the legal structure of a transaction while something can still be changed: the contract before it’s signed, the employment paperwork before the separation, the family agreement before the conversation becomes impossible, the title before the purchase. When the problem has already happened, we handle that too — knowing, and saying, that it almost always could have been avoided.

Carlos Yañez Peralta, corredor público in Cancun

Dr. Carlos Rodolfo Yañez Peralta. Doctor of Law.

He is Corredor Público Número 5 for the jurisdiction of Quintana Roo since 2019 — a public-trust official authorized by Mexico’s Secretaría de Economía (the federal Ministry of Economy) in commercial matters, sometimes searched in English as “notary public.” It’s a different role: real-estate deeds, trusts, and probate are the exclusive competence of Mexico’s notario público, not his. He is also president of the Colegio Nacional de Fedatarios Públicos, the body that groups the profession nationwide. More than 15 years of practice back every matter he signs.

His practice centers on corporate law, appraisal, mediation, and prevention, with particular attention to foreign investors operating in Quintana Roo’s tourism and real-estate market: people deciding whom to trust with a major transaction in a country that isn’t theirs, and who deserve to know exactly who they’re dealing with.

He runs the firm and signs off on every matter personally.

The verifiable credential

Neither the title nor the authorization is a matter of taking our word for it. Both are on record in the national registry of public-trust officials, open for anyone to check: fedatariospublicos.org.mx.

And on the exact scope of what a corredor público can and can’t do — including what belongs to the notario and not to us — there’s an entire page: what a corredor público can and cannot do.

The group

This firm is part of a practice group that handles different areas of law, and we say so openly because transparency is worth more than the appearance of independence:

• Commercial public-trust acts are handled through Correduría Pública 5, headed by Dr. Yañez Peralta himself.
• Company formation and high-volume corporate services are handled through QuickCorp.
• The Colegio Nacional de Fedatarios Públicos, which he presides over, is a professional association independent of the firm and its commercial services.

If your matter belongs to one of them, we’ll tell you and route you there.

Background

In 2025, Dr. Yañez Peralta was a candidate for federal district judge for the Twenty-Seventh Circuit, as part of that year’s judicial election process. It’s kept here as part of the professional record.

Qualifications, and who issued each one

A credential without an issuer cannot be checked, so each one comes with its own:

• Doctorate in Law — Colegio Jurista.
• Master of Laws — Universidad Tecnológica de México.
• Master in Notarial, Contract and Registry Law.
• Law degree — Universidad Valle del Grijalva.
• Specialisation in real-estate appraisal.
• Corredor público number 5 for the Quintana Roo district since 2019, licensed by the Ministry of Economy.
• Private mediator number 3, certified by the Quintana Roo judiciary.
• Authorised appraiser before the tax authority and listed in the Quintana Roo state register of appraisers.
• Certified in the General Law on Alternative Dispute Resolution, the statute that governs mediation in Mexico.

On top of that come the professional bodies: the presidency of the national college of fedatarios públicos and membership of the Mexican national college of correduría pública.

The college's work on modernising the fedatario sector, and its president's role in it, are documented in a Forbes México piece linked at the foot of this page.
